Weatherby Vanguard Sporter 257 Weatherby Magnum, 24″ Threaded Barrel, Turkish Walnut, 3rd

The 257 Weatherby Vanguard Sporter combines precision engineering with classic aesthetics in a bolt-action rifle designed for discerning shooters. Built on Weatherby’s guaranteed SUB-MOA platform, this model delivers consistent accuracy with groups under 1″ at 100 yards when paired with specified ammunition. The 24″ threaded barrel features a matte bead-blasted blued finish and 1:10″ twist rate, optimized for the 257 Weatherby Magnum cartridge.

Key features include a match-grade two-stage trigger adjustable to 2.5 lbs, a Monte Carlo stock crafted from Grade A Turkish walnut, and a 3-position safety. The receiver is drilled and tapped for optics, while the target crown muzzle ensures shot-to-shot consistency. With a 3+1 capacity and 13.63″ length of pull, this right-handed rifle balances performance (7.8 lbs) with Weatherby’s signature wood-and-steel craftsmanship.
